Oh les jeux peuplent le jeu maintenant chaque nuit et chaque jour ne

maintenant ce que veulent dire ils

Et ils parti wile les heures dans leurs tours d'ivoire jusqu'à
ce qu'ils soient dissimulés de fleurs dans le dos d'une limousine

Oh nous faisons à une une autre rupture de cri un coeur alors
que nous disons qu'au revoir la croix nos coeurs et nous espèrent
mourir que l'autre devait blâmer

Ni l'un ni l'autre un ne donneront dedans ainsi nous regardons
nos huit par l''accès dix de pensée les choses qui pourraient avoir

Répétez Le Choeur

Peuplez en marchant jusqu'à vous la gloire Haleakala de chant
et ils essayent de la cogner à vous au nom du seigneur

Ils vont vous enseigner que comment méditer lisez votre

Répétez Le Choeur

Le regard m'indiquent autour que ce que vous voyez ce
qu'arrive à vous et je Dieu m'accorde la sérénité pour me rappeler

Cause vous avez renoncé à votre validité pour votre fierté
et votre vanité vous tourne triste sur l'humanité et vous ne donnez

Joe South (born Joseph Alfred Souter, 28 February 1940, in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Grammy Award winning American singer-songwriter with a distinctive guitar sound.

South had several hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s with songs such as "Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home" and "Walk a Mile in My Shoes". His biggest and most remembered single was "Games People Play" (1969), a Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic. It won the "Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Song", the "Grammy Award for Song of the Year", and which bears a striking resemblance to the children's gospel song, "I Don't Want to Be a Pharisee". It was featured on his first album, Introspect.

He had met and was encouraged by Bill Lowery, an Atlanta music publisher and radio personality. He began his recording career in Atlanta with National Recording Corporation, where he served as staff guitarist along with other NRC artists Ray Stevens and Jerry Reed. South's earliest recordings have been re-released by NRC on CD.

South's compositions have been recorded by many artists. They include Billy Joe Royal's hits "Down in the Boondocks" and "Hush" (later a hit for Deep Purple and Kola Shaker), the Osmonds' hit "Yo-Yo," and Elvis Presley's Laos Vegas-era version of "Walk a Mile in My Shoes", also recorded by Bryan Ferry and Conduct. South's most commercially successful composition is Lynn Anderson's 1971 country/pop monster hit "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden", which was a hit in 16 countries worldwide. Lynn Anderson won a Grammy Award for her vocals and South won a Grammy Award for writing the song. South would go on to write more hits for Anderson such as, "How Can I Uncover You" (Billboard #1) and "Fool Me" (Billboard #3).

South was also a prominent sideman,
recording the memorable guitar part on Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools"
Tommy Roe's "Sheila" as well as appearing on Bob Dylan's album Blondie on Blondie. He also played the electric guitar part that was added to Simon & Garfunkel's first hit, "The Sound of Silence".

The suicide of his brother, Tommy, drove South into a deep depression.[citation needed] Tommy had been his backing band's drummer and accompanied South not only in live performances, but also on recording sessions when South produced hits for other artists, including Billy Joe Royal, Sandy Pusey, and Friend & Lover.

South was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1979.

In 1988 Dutch DJ, Jan Donkeys, interviewed Joe South for VAPOR-radio. The radio show that aired the interview also played four new songs by South, but a new record was not released.

On 13 September 2003 South was inducted into Georgia Music Hall of Fame, and played together with Buddy Busier, J.R. Cobb and Chips Mo man at the induction ceremony.

This musical documentary of Jesus' life, filmed mostly in Israel, takes a nondenominational but conservative religious approach to the story. Johnny Cash and Larry Murray wrote the script, and the film was produced by June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash. The music includes songs by John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, Joe South, and Christopher Wren. However, most of the singing, and all of the narration is Cash'

Benny Hill sax player dies
at 80
Boots Randolph

Saxophonist Boots Randolph, who was best known for playing Benny Hill's signature tune Yakety Sax, has died in the US aged 80.



Randolph, who was born Homer Louis, had been in a coma since suffering a cerebral haemorrhage last month.

His publicist Betty Hofer said he was taken off a respirator at Skyline Medical Center in Nashville.

As a session musician he worked with artists such as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Brenda Lee.

He co-wrote Yakety Sax, which went on to become his biggest solo hit, with guitarist James Rich.

Speaking to the Associated Press in 1990 he said: "Yakety Sax will be my trademark. I'll hang my hat on it. It's kept me alive. Every sax player in the world has tried to play it. Some are good, some are awful."

He also was part of the Million Dollar Band on the US TV show Hee Haw.

"He not only played just the notes, he caressed them," said long-time co-host Roy Clark.

"You could hear the words to his instrumentals," he added.

He leaves a wife, a son, a daughter and four grandchildren.
